Focusing on the Caribbean coast of New Granada (present-day Colombia), Bassi shows that the region's residents did not live their lives bounded by geopolitical borders. Rather, the cross-border activities of sailors, traders, revolutionaries, indigenous peoples, and others reflected their perceptions of the Caribbean as a transimperial space where trade, information, and people circulated, both conforming to and in defiance of imperial regulations. Bassi demonstrates that the islands, continental coasts, and open waters of the transimperial Greater Caribbean constituted a space that was simultaneously Spanish, British, French, Dutch, Danish, Anglo-American, African, and indigenous. 606 $aGeopolitics$zCaribbean Area 606 $aImperialism 607 $aCaribbean Area$xBoundaries 607 $aCaribbean Area$xCommerce 607 $aCaribbean Area$xHistory 607 $aCaribbean Area$xPolitics and government 615 0$aGeopolitics 615 0$aImperialism. 676 $a320.1/2 700 $aBassi$b Ernesto$f1978-$0893914 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150197903321 996 $aAn aqueous territory$91996872 997 $aUNINA
